Guarantee
SATISFACTION guaranteed.We aim to provide you with complete satisfaction. If you are not entirely happy with your purchase for any reason, please return it to us in a new and unused condition within 14 days and we will either exchange the item or provide you with a refund for the product - and that's a guarantee.PRICE FLUCTUATIONS.Every effort is made to keep the web site up to date however there are sometimes delays in implementing price changes both up and downwards.Prices are subject to alteration without notice.All items sold are new. However the Compass Point mobile shop attends races in open country and some slight soiling may occasionally occur on studded footwear that has been tried on. We will always try to avoid this situation for mail order but, our experience has been that customers are happy in the knowledge that the product is new and unused. As always we will refund if you are not satisfied with the product.
